Listen, I know you have been thinking about it.

How would I get my life together?

How can I get my life together?

All these questions with no answers. Well, boy, do I have a resolution for you.

If you are anything like me, you are probably too busy to focus on yourself. Whether you are BUSY making slime videos on youtube or you are BUSY with work or school.

Nowadays, we are all trying to get to the top. Getting the most money, buying the most expensive cars, buying the biggest house, the list is endless, to be honest. But the one thing that we do not realize is that material items like houses and cars do not buy us happiness.

You may feel a sense of accomplishment when you purchase something big and brag about it on social media, but in reality, the hole in your heart or the space in your soul gets bigger. You may not realize this now, but I promise you will recognize it as soon as you are alone in your mansion on your deathbed while your kids are FIGHTING over your inheritance money.

Sure, you have everything you have ever wanted, but you are missing the most significant element. You are abstaining from yourself. In this journey, you have taken to what society calls success.

You have lost yourself, CONGRATULATIONS! Do you feel at all accomplished? Probably on the outside, but I know deep down you regret everything.

There are many ways to achieve your best self and to get your life together. I know it seems like a back-breaking process, but trust me, you will obtain great success. Not the success they ADVERTISE on television, the success that will make you feel good inside and out.

Living a good and fulfilling life is different for everyone.

However, it is the general understanding that is the same for everyone. The good life is a series of never-ending prosperity that only grows more powerful as time goes on. But here are several simple principles that revolve around living a good life.

#1 Slow down and appreciate life's simple pleasures

Urgency and swiftness instantly diminish accuracy, awareness, and HAPPINESS. There is a significant difference between getting things done and getting things fulfilled effectively. The most satisfying things in life are free.

Life's greatest pleasures, such as a PEACEFUL ocean sunset or a rainy day's sleep, cannot be bought.

#2 Cut all those toxic people out of your life!!

Spending a lot of time with someone makes you like them. This idea may sound pretty insignificant because it sounds pretty dumb. But it is related. Being surrounded by RUDE, PESSIMISTIC people makes it difficult to maintain a positive attitude and focus on your goals.

It is challenging to make headway if the people you surround yourself with are regularly belittling you or your efforts. That does not mean that you need to cut ties with everyone that disagrees with you.

The word toxic comes into play here. The term toxic is thrown around far too casually in today's society. Particularly at people who might be saying something that needs to be said but is not what you want to hear. It is common for a person to take constructive criticism in the wrong way when it is used constructively.

Almost any environment can use constructive criticism, but it is most often used in work environments. When an employee struggles, it is assured that they will perform beautifully at some point, which means that it is always possible to praise and encourage him to continue doing well.

A genuinely toxic person is someone who is HARMING your well-being.

Often, it's a person drowning in their problems or dysfunctions to such an extent that they are hurting the people around them.

It is also important to have GOOD boundaries in your relationships to ensure that toxic people cannot screw up your life and happiness.

#3 You better concentrate on those passions of yours!

Your desires are what you love to do every day because it gives you a sense of worth and fulfillment. The key to real wealth on earth lies in your true life purpose.

Use your passion most productively and universally possible, and you will discover the reasons behind your most important ENDEAVORS and GOAL.

#4 Take better care of your physical health

Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and adequate sleep can dramatically improve a person's PHYSICAL, MENTAL, and EMOTIONAL well-being.

When one is constantly tired and lethargic, how is one supposed to feel good about life and oneself?

Contrary to popular belief, one does not need to live a super expensive whole and natural lifestyle to get some of these benefits.

Small steps, such as limiting sugar and caffeine, can improve your overall energy levels, help you sleep at night, and bring your body into a healthier place.

#5 Be clear on your intentions

There is no limit to your goals, but to achieve them, you need to believe in them with all your HEART and SOUL. You will never get where you want to go if you do not know what you want and do not think you have what it takes to get it.

#6 Be spontaneous

Opportunity sometimes knocks at unexpected times. Make sure you have enough flexibility in your schedule to respond accordingly.

Be spontaneous and step OUTSIDE OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE at any chance you get.

Try new things that you may have been afraid of but always wanted to experience. At first glance, the craziest activities seem terrifying.

#7 Think more, talk less

The more you think, and the less you talk, the more you will learn and the less you will miss. Whenever you speak, make sure you do so with worth, meaning, and CONVICTION.

#8 Laugh more and be here in the moment!

As the good old-fashioned saying goes, those who laugh more are the ones who live longer. Stop taking life so seriously and realize that everything that makes you nervous or uncomfortable may be there to make you laugh.

Right now is the time that you can use however you want to. Right now is life. It is an entire world waiting to be shaped by your desires.

Learning about yourself is the most beautiful thing in human nature. As soon as you find out the importance of living a non-materialistic lifestyle. You are able to do so many other things for your family, friends, and most importantly, yourself.
